So I have just seen an advert for it and it reminded me how much I hate it. Jelly with fruit in it. Why? Why would you ruin jelly by putting fruit (that invariably goes soggy and mushy) in it? Just why? Same goes for yoghurt with fruity bits in it. Makes me feel sick just thinking about it. 😫

What foods do you feel have been ruined worldwide or by someone that you know?

I need to make a ruling on this:

GOOD
Peanut butter (has to be crunchy though)
Salted caramel
Chocolate with raisins/nuts
Pineapple on pizza
Chips with gravy
Parmesan on any kind of pasta, yes even if it's got fish in, deal with it

BAD
Nutella
Fruit in jelly
Those awful sponge squares used in cheap trifle
Custard
Trifle, basically
Butterscotch Angel Delight (but there is a forcefeeding backstory so I'm prepared to admit this is just me)

Oh dear god what fresh hell is this?

Before I stopped eating meat, my mum used to put parsley sauce on fish and chicken. I hated the stuff! I thought I was free of it since becoming a veggie but she offered it to me the other day and I did a heroic leap to save my food from the terrible fate of parsley sauce! She has a habit of asking if you want something/more of something but not waiting for the reply and just putting it on your plate. Angry

I hate fruit in jelly or yogurt . BOKE. However I put almost any kind of sauce on pizza! (Possibly something wrong with me 😂)

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 02/09/2016 07:04

I just hate sauce in general. I prefer dry food.

I hate dry food, sauce every time for me.

Other things which ruin a dish are:

Alcohol in puddings
Fruit with meat
Salt with caramel

Do you want ants? That's how you get ants.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 02/09/2016 07:19

Whipped cream (or spray cream if you're cheap like me) goes on men. It is then immediately licked off to avoid ants. Problem solved! Wink

I like all of these. None are crimes to me.
Fruit and Jelly? Errr, what do you think trifle is? I love trifle.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 02/09/2016 07:27

Trifle is made with normal jelly! No fruit in it! It goes:

Jelly, custard, lady fingers, cream, fruit topping like half strawberries in a nice pattern on top. But only my nan was allowed to make trifle so I don't eat it all that much anymore. Sad

From further back re fruit in cheese - no grapes ( and apple and celery) fine on the cheese board to eat in between /alternative to cheese, but no, not in it.
But fruit and meat - I couldn't not have home made apple sauce with pork , and I like a good fruity chutney in a ham sandwich.

No, that's how you get babies. Then you get a(u)nts.

Margarine is the work of the devil. Especially people in sandwich shops who say would you like butter? And you say yes thinking that it is butter and then you eat it and it's Marg A Bloody Rine.

Tomatoes in bread - wrong wrong wrong!

sparechange · 02/09/2016 09:59

OP, lady fingers are green vegetable that goes really really slimy when cooked
What the HELL are you doing putting those in a trifle Shock

KittensWithWeapons · 02/09/2016 10:14

Exactly, Amalfimamma. It's so easy to make a really lovely carbonara, why on earth fuck it up by adding cream?

BeingATwatItsABingThing, bread in a fucking flowerpot?? I'd have been requesting to meet the restaurant owner and then hopping the stupid wanky flowerpot off their head Grin. For the love of Jaysus, just put my food on a fucking plate!!

Yeah, those daft Freakshakes. I actually love a milkshake, but covering one in cream and sprinkles and cake? Urgh. And how on earth is one supposed to eat the pinterest fodder damn thing?

SnugglySnerd · 02/09/2016 10:17

I cannot stand cold custard or soggy sponge so trifle is out for me. Also anything like chantilly cream. Why would you sweeten cream? It's revolting.
I absolutely cannot stand baked beans. I cant even look at them of sit next to someone else who is eating them.
Tinned tuna = cat food
Mushy peas are just wrong but DH loves them and takes great delight in piling them on top of his chips so that I won't pinch any.

Chocolate should never go in the fridge
Butter should also be room temperature
Eton Mess makes me heave
My kids still love Angel Delight and Arctic Roll, so bring on the snooty!

Spaghetti can be eaten in many ways.

It does not go on a toast. And it most definitely does not belong in tins.

Sparechange Ladyfingers are not a vegetable! THey're a sort of mini banana which is very sweet.

Nuts in chocolate = Heaven.
Dried fruit in chocolate = Hell.

"I absolutely cannot stand baked beans. I cant even look at them of sit next to someone else who is eating them."

Yes, yes, yes.

I once ordered a cooked breakfast at a cafe and stated "no beans" when doing so.
My breakfast arrived - with beans.
I reminded the waitress of my request and made her return the breakfast.
She came back with - the same plate, just with the beans scraped off.
I shook my head and politely but firmly asked for a fresh breakfast without the fucking beans OR the fucking sauce this fucking time .
I then finally got my bean-free breakfast.
Needless to say, I didn't return.

Eggs with anything Tomato based.

Just the thought of baked beans, with a fried egg on top, or tomato ketchup is making me feel a bit funny.

I find building a Sausage wall round my egg helps prevent bean juice contaminating a fry up.

KittensWithWeapons · 02/09/2016 11:16

Ladyfingers are a kind of spongy biscuity thing (yes, I'm ever so articulate Grin), that go in tiramisu - otherwise known as savoiardi.

Budgiebonbon · 02/09/2016 11:21

I know this is not going to go down well after the recent Tinned Tomato Soup thread- but the stuff is bloody horrible.
It tastes like metal and leaves a strange after taste as well as staining anything it touches.

Give me Leek and Potato any day!

Boogers · 02/09/2016 11:37

Budgie you wouldn't like how we have scrambled eggs on toast in this house - with lots of ketchup! DD mixes it all together and calls it scrambled brains! Grin
